I’m from Long Island, NY and a recent graduate of the Mental Health Counseling and Wellness  program, maintaining a 4.0 gpa at New York University. I currently hold a permit as a Mental Health Counselor and receive clinical supervision from Amudalat Lasisi, LMHC.

Initially my collegiate career began at Howard University where I majored in television and film production. However, with a call to service and a passionate heart for people and the human condition, I followed my purpose and graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science degree in Health and Society with an emphasis in Wellness and Development from SUNY Cortland.

I am experienced in individual counseling as well as marriage and family counseling. My style is discerning, warm, laid back, and attentive with an appropriate fun flare. My intention is to empower clients to take dominion over their lives. By that I mean, supporting you in exercising your own authority to take control of your life in an uncontrollable and unpredictable world.

You matter and you deserve healing! My goal is to create a safe landing for you to recharge and relearn, so you can relive and embrace a life of purpose.  This is a judgment free zone; no concern is too great or too small. 

I was born and raised in New Jersey.  My curiosity and fondness for human beings propelled me to earn a Master’s Degree in Social Work at Syracuse University.

Being a Social Worker is not just a job, it is a calling. I like to meet a client and assist them in building on their current foundation and tools in a way that fits with their personal beliefs and values. Therapy should be a safe place to express emotions and to be met with empathy and kindness. My personal style is client-centered, culturally sensitive, empowering, and fun. Therapy does not look the same for everyone, we are all unique individuals with unique needs. Together we will discover these needs and insights to help guide you on your journey.

In working as a counselor, I aim to recognize you as a unique individual while exploring your strengths and tools to help you achieve your therapeutic goals.
